Could someone please re-post the set list from the recent group of shows so I'll have some reference for what's headed my way in Nov?
Thanks

I hope that Chris will sing a song...because he never did on the last 2 tours

Plus in 2002, I worn a t-shirt saying "Chris, I IMPLORE you to sing something for me please !!!" and then threw it on the stage during the intermission. Then Neil saw it and laugh and put it on Chris' keyboard. He got the message but didn't worked so if Chris sing something during that tour, I could die in peace

Chris might throw in a song on the tour.

What has happened about a "major World Tour" that was meant to be happening this autumn? Are the US dates just the end of it and there will be no further UK/European dates?

I will be really disapointed if that is the case. I live in London and I wasn't able to make the Tower of London gigs in June, and not being a big Festival goer, i thought that i would hang on until the "World Tour" later in the year.

The fact that they are *still* to announce any further dates, and Fundamental has been out for almost 6 months now, and the final single from the album is released on November 16 makes me think that after the US there will be no more

Stage looks pretty basic compared to other tours. What i would like to see is more of their equipment on stage. Nothing better than seeing the "Rig" in action.

then you run the risk of something coming off like the Release tour... and what a disappointment that was...

although the stage was pretty basic at the festivals, they really made it work well for them... seriously, after seeing them at Electric Picnic, I am more excited than ever for the NYC and DC dates.. Stands to be even better than the Nightlife tour!

I saw them at the Tower of London show and I thought the stage was great.... we are never going to get another "Performance" set, but I thought it was better than the last two tours.

I'm also seeing them in NYC and DC - and I can't wait!!

I have to reply to this one. Just because there are no further European dates announced yet, does not mean there won't be.

When Neil played Montreal during the Nightlife Tour in November 1999, I spoke to him about the fact that they were back in the UK for dates around Christmas. He said they were to come back to the US in the Spring of 2000, to play places like Philadephia.

Reality, they never came back, and ended up during the Summer 2000 Tour of Europe, South Amercia, etc, instead. So within 45 days of me speaking to him, the whole plan had changed.

So I think once they do this North American Tour, there is always a chance they may take a break for a month, and then extend it to other places. You never know.

But this discussion with Neil made me realize just how fluid and in constant flux this touring is.

So just because we do not know anything now means nothing.

Pet Shop Boys and their singers and dancers have been rehearsing all week.

What about rehearsing with musicians...?

I haven't been that impressed with the Summer Tour especially with Chris and his "TV screen" but as long as they play Psychological, Luna Park and Twentieth Century it will be fine for me.

American Tour will be an expanded version of the Summer Tour
